Is Joe Edwards not a Rossa man or was??

St Pauls. Not sure if anywhere before there.

Agree with MR2 and the head on the block comment - pretty thankless task. Some actions appear not particularly helpful and obtrusive but pretty hard job.

2 years ago we(johnnies)got a player sent off up at toome.the referree sent the wrong player off and the lad got 3 mnths for it.we appealed it and went up to the meeting with joe edwards.geordie mcguckin from cargin came to the meeting as he witnessed what had happened.geordie explained the ref had got the wrong man,the offender had black hair and the lad who got the line was blonde.joe edwards just decided to ignore us and geordie and unbelievably upheld the suspension.to me that was just like calling a good honest gael like geordie  a liar.if this man gets the chair its up there with dawson keeping his job.

Any truth in the news I heard that the Lamhs pitch is lined that tight that (if there were enough goal posts) both games could be played side by side on Sunday. Sure we could all get home for the minor match on TV?

Where's that come from?
Mickey Johnston antics?

Bollix....Lamh Dhearg's pitch is lined out to the same width as it always is.  You think Lamh Dhearg would entertain a request from St John's to narrow their pitch, thereby losing all credibility with the rest of the clubs and ruining their chances of hosting additional championship matches?  Or maybe wee Joe told them to do it as part of his cunning plan for world domination...

Sure with forwards like Conor Johnson, Brian Mc Fall, Michael Dudley and Domhall Nugent, St Johns would want as wide a pitch as possible :P

BTW...if you don't want to see Mr. Edwards as the next chairman, you'd need to be getting the stalking horse sorted out.  Preferably one that's an affiliated and paid up member of the association, unlike the last effort.  By no means impossible but needs all of you to lobby your club committees to ensure they act in line with your wishes.  Must be someone who fancies it...hardstation, MR2, anybody!

And did St. John's put forward the real culprit?

Hopefully a candidate as contentious as joe Edwards (who would need nominated & seconded) will bring someone else out of the woodwork.
Leaving aside his internal deficiencies - can we imagine him representing Antrim in the media or at croke park!

yeah both guys went to meeting and the player held his hands up and admitted it was him.geordie identified the real culprit and joe edwards chose to ignore it.it really was an unbelievable decision.to me it seemed as if edwards was making a sstatement that - he can do anything he wants-

My abiding memory of Joe Edwards is during a game against St Pauls him "offering on" a young disabled fella that has been our mascot/water boy for years, over a disputed line ball.
He wouldn't offer on his brother!

No disgrace in that result for Cloughmills, thought they tried hard throughout. Loughgiel looked a bit lethargic, Mr. Watson looked sharp when he came on.

None of us are getting out of here alive, so please stop treating yourself like an after thought.

+1 on all counts.

The Shamrocks would need to improve a great deal if they intend to win another championship, they looked lethargic and going through the motions. This won't work against Ballycastle,Dunloy or Cushendall.

Playing the way they did tonight,will not beat any of the other three teams by 15 points,you can be sure of that.
